Typically 36-38 psi. R32 GTSt with stock arms, urethane camber bushes F&R, ball-end caster rods, sensible sporty street alignment, Bilstein@F & KYB@R + Kings springs, 24mm adjustable F&R. Spot on legal ride height.

Some of that has changed this month - new SK B6s F&R, GTR Kings Springs F&R. Not using KU36s atm having bought some Goodyears for almost nothing from Tirerack some months ago.

FWIW, the new dampers and springs have changed my car so much that I have more grip now on the lesser Goodyears than I did on KU36s, and if I were to put KU36s back on I would either have massive grip or I'd wear them out in 3 weeks (or both!).

Or break a gearbox? :)

Hahaha, yeah my mate has one. Im quite astonished at what they put down.

And honestly the ones at the drag strip scare me (im in WA so all the mining guys love em and throw mad money into their LS's). If its lumpy its usually in the 11's :(

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      Yes, I had ordered the spherical bushings at the same time as the rest. I have high hopes for the anti squat reduction kit.

      Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.

      R32 only blows hot air

      The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.

      Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)

      Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
